Here’s a simple and cozy Crockpot Split Pea Soup recipe 🥣✨
🥣 Crockpot Split Pea Soup
Ingredients:
- 1 lb dried green split peas (rinsed)

- 6–7 cups chicken broth or water
- 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp thyme (optional)

1. Add everything to crockpot
Put all ingredients into the slow cooker and stir.
2. Cook low and slow

Remove bay leaves and ham bone (if used). Shred meat back into soup if desired.
